I just wanted to wish Mr. Clarke a happy 60th birthday. He is an incredibly talented man and a delightful human being. I've shared this story before, but I wrote him fan-mail once and he replied back in such a gentleman like way. He has the honor of the very first leader of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when it comes to television. Also, here is a video of him recording a new video game demo.

Reason: He's another year older.

Happy birthday, Cam Clarke! 60, but still has the vocal cords of a teenage Turtle, impressive!

I remember back before I wandered back to TMNT I'd been playing WoW for a few years and one of my two most loved characters I have is a male Blood Elf. I was very surprised when I looked up the voice actor and found that it was the same guy who voiced my old pal Leo from long ago. (Who knows, maybe it was a starting point of my coming back to TMNT that I wish I never lost in the first place. )

I wasn't a fan of his work as Leonardo's VA in the FW series much. Especially from season 3 on. He was a bit high pitched and made Leonardo sound whiny. He sounded more calm and collected in the first two seasons, especially in the first season.

Loved his performances as Leonardo and Rocksteady, and that he was cast in all 193 episodes of the Original Toon as well.

This was part of the reason why Leonardo and Michelangelo were my two favorites as a kid. Clarke and Coleman did every single episode of the series. Whenever Rob Paulsen and Barry Gordon were unavailable and someone else had to fill-in for them it didn't quite feel the same. It's also nice that Renae Jacobs stayed with the series the whole way thorough.

While I have little nostalgia for the old 80s cartoon (given my older sister stopped watching it before I have any real memories of anything), he was Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Solid, and that's a role worthy enough to celebrate.

The biggest villains were the censors. What they could do without being held back is my question. Shredder could've done more than blow up the Channel Six building. I don't mean as far as murdering Splinter, but think of the possibilities if censors were not an issue. Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.
